Ah. Thanks for your explanation. How did you understand my German question? Do you speak German?
I can read it if the amount of slang is kept low. But writing it is impossible to me. Wrt to speaking it, it's getting better, but not good :-) I could survive in Germany though, and I hope it will get better when I return to Nürnberg in the fall sometime.

Again I would like to thank for the translation of the abuse mail. Nice to have the help of the community.
To pay back maybe I can give you a new implementation of the mailinglist server, with a this time *functioning* search engine:
http://lists2.suse.com (lists.suse.com will redirect)
:-))
Good news. Btw, and that's the main reason for this mail, the IPs of the "smtprelay.t-online.de" servers, which probably most of us here use, are: 194.25.134.28 194.25.134.29 194.25.134.30 194.25.134.31 194.25.134.92 194.25.134.93 194.25.134.94 194.25.134.95 i.e. smtprelay has _different_ IPs that mailin.t-online.de (or whatever the normal smtp-servers are called)[1]. But I do think, it's a "Bad Idea"[tm], to block (any) mail-servers of the biggest ISP in DE (and there's a lot of us using it)... As the SuSE list-server removes the 'Received:' Headers (which is good), I don't know what other means|criteria of blocking the spammer may be possible. Well, anyway, I'd say, if you (i.e. the list-server) gets spammed, and the provider in question doesn't react, you could call on us to "spam" abuse@, demanding to block the spammer... Simply because if you'd block a provider, that's bad for _us_... ;) Regards, -dnh [1] t-online has "normal" smtp-swervers (mailin), which rewrite the From-Header, and it has "relay" servers (smtprelay), that just forward the mails. By default, you can't use the relay(s), you have to go to a webpage and apply for using the relay... AFAIK, most of us here, that use t-online also use the relay ;) -- Dag° Hier bin Ich Kasper , hier darf Ich´s sein. [WoKo in dag°]
